Hi there,

can anyone tell me what kind of CPU socket XENA features?

It would be sufficient to know if it is compatible with, or even one of, the following...

Intel-Socket 775, 1150, 1155, 1156, 1366, 2011
AMD-Socket AM2, AM2+, AM3, AM3+, FM1, FM2

I'd like to replace the (pretty loud 60mm) original heatsink/fan with a more stylish and quieter one.

Thanks a lot

These fit.

Best to install the Fan controller that came with your X1000 and adjust the stock fan speed first. You may decide that you don't need a new fan.

Use the cputemp docky to monitor things.

Thank you, yes that's a fitting fan, but what about the heatsink?

The stock fan can be unscrewed from the heatsink and the new fan screwed on. No need to remove the heatsink at all.

lol

I think you don't understand me

I do WANT to remove the heatsink and install a complete new pair of fan/heatsink...that's why i need to know the kind of socket

Just popping in

"can anyone tell me what kind of CPU socket XENA features?"

Xena is not socketed. She is soldered directly to the Nemo board.
She has no heatsink, no fan, and no need for either of them.
Access to her available pins are through the Xorro slot, using a
board available from AmigaKit.

The primary processor on the Nemo board is a PA6-T.
It is not in a socket. This will make choosing a fan based on
the socket used a bit tricky, at least.

Why? The stock set up is fine.
Disturbing functioning stock fittings on a SMD $1000 CPU is utter madness!

Rarely do I tell someone what to do, but on this occasion, "Leave it alone. If it ain't broke don't try to fix it!"

Supreme Council

A lot of work was done early on during the Nemo development to ensure that a "standard form factor" was used for the cooling, making replacing it a much easier job than with previous boards. As for the actual spec decided upon, it was too long ago, but googling the mounting dimensions should reveal something.

I just replaced my X1000's CPU fan with a Noctua NF-A6x25 FLX, which has resulted in a very noticable reduction of the noise, while keeping the CPU temps the same (running the fan at its nominal speed).

Caveat emptor, YMMV, don't do this unless you know what you're doing, etc. etc.

Niels

I'd probably go for the Noiseblocker PR-2 then...

You can use the potentiometer that comes with the x1000 to lower down the speed of the fan to get down the noise.

EDIT: Im using Fractal R2 fan for cpu.

Not with the standard CPU fan, though, it doesn't have variable speed (as far as I have heard, haven't tried myself).

Yep, that looks nice too. Very similar data for airflow etc., and about 3 dB quieter (which is supposedly only marginally audible as a difference).

Let us know how it goes!

Best regards,

I have the standard CPU fan arrangement and a variable speed controller fitted by AmigaKit.

IIRC, the standard CPU fan doesn't have the tacho pin to measure RPM. This doesn't prevent the fan speed from being adjusted though. All that's needed for variable speed is adjusting the voltage that's applied to the motor (usually using PWM).
